Preparing for the Flu and Coronavirus
We know many people are concerned about the flu and Coronavirus. At R Baby Foundation, we advise you to stay up to date on these and other illnesses through the CDC and take precautionary measures to keep your children healthy:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds…sing Happy Birthday twice to make sure!
- If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Keep your children away from others who are sick or keep them home if they are ill.
- Teach kids to cough and sneeze into their arm or elbow, not their hands.
- Clean and disinfect household objects and surfaces in your home.
- If you are traveling, make sure you are washing hands often and have supplies handy for on the go cleaning.
- It’s not too late for the flu shot!
